Fermín Galán y García Hernández, precursores de la República, caen fusilados por el plomo de los asesinos a sueldo de un monarca embrutecido y exclusivamente defensor de sus privilegios.

Fermín Galán et Garcia Hernández, précurseurs de la République, tombent frappés par les balles de assassins aux gages d'un monarque dégénéré qui ne songe plus qu'à défendre ses intérêts

Fermín Galán i García Hernández, forerunners of the Republic, die at the hands of the paid assassins of a loutish monarch who cares only for his own privileges.

Fermín Galán kaj Garcia Hernández, antauuloj[sic] de la Respubliko, falas mortpafitaj per la plumbo de la dungitaj murdistoj de monarho[sic] brutigita kaj ekskluzive defendanto idiaj privilegioj.


In late 1930, shortly before the abdication of Alfonso XIII, Fermín Galán and Ángel García Hernández declared a republic and marched against the military stronghold at Huesca, in northern Aragon. The rebellion was quickly put down.

As in the first postcard, a faceless firing squad takes aim on Spanish patriots. The placement of the red cap and cockade - a popular symbol taken from the French Revolution - behind these men suggest their revolutionary aims and clear association with the Spanish working class. Once again, blood appears on the Spanish flag. A red dot at the top of the image is most likely meant to mark out the geographic location of Huesca.
